Apple Just Made Unlocking Your iPhone Way, Way Harder

Terrible news, y’all. Literally the worst thing that could have possibly happened, happened. Yesterday Apple announced a long list of incremental improvements coming soon with iOS 9, the most godawful of which is this: Now you have to type SIX digits instead of four to unlock your iPhone. Yes, reader, that means two additional button taps for your already overworked thumbs. "The passcodes you use on your Touch ID—enabled iPhone and iPad will now have six digits instead of four," Apple explains on its product page. "If you use Touch ID, it’s a change you’ll hardly notice. But with one million possible combinations—instead of 10,000—your passcode will be a lot tougher to crack."

I guess it wouldn’t be so bad if Touch ID didn’t get all smudge-y and impossible to unlock on the first try; but that isn’t the case. HEY APPLE: HOW ABOUT DISRUPTING SMUDGE-Y FINGERS?!? (And maybe a little more battery life.) Now, instead of tapping 1-1-1-1, I’ll have to type 1-1-1-1-1-1. Ugh.
